Slaying the Black Serpent—this is Qing Yi's proof of his power!
Xie Feng nodded slightly without speaking, but Qing Yi shook off the snake blood on his sword and shook his head in dissatisfaction.
"That's not enough!"
Xie Feng asked, "Which is more important, love or loyalty?"
Qing Yi gave a bitter laugh, "Although I am one of the three War God, known as Feng Yan's right-hand man, actually... he has recently lost trust in me. He is inherently suspicious and finds it difficult to trust anyone. When he agreed to let me deliver supplies to Phoenix Maiden, it already showed that he was becoming distant from me... I know that deep down he hopes I will die on the Eternity Battlefield... When I expressed my feelings for Phoenix Maiden to him, he stopped trusting me!..."
Xie Feng said, "So that's the kind of person Feng Yan is..."
Qing Yi said, "As the saying goes, serving a ruler is like serving a tiger, but serving him is even more terrifying than a tiger. For my Emperor Phoenix Clan, tigers aren't actually that scary... Hmm? Who is it?!"
Suddenly, he twitched his ears, then swung his sword towards the cave entrance ahead.
"I'm a good person, please don't kill me!"
A man appeared, raised his hands, and said nervously.
Feng Luo!
Qing Yi was astonished when she saw him. "It's you? Feng Luo!"
Feng Luo was surprised to see him, and even more surprised when she turned her head and saw Xie Feng standing calmly not far away.
"What are you doing here? And, sir, do you remember who I am?"
He blinked, maintaining his smile as he asked Qing Yi.
Qing Yi said, "The Third Emperor's Son."
Feng Luo said, "So why are you calling me by my full name?!"
"A lousy name, is it so noble? Not only will I call you by your full name, I'll also kill you!"
After coldly finishing his sentence, Qing Yi drew his sword to finish him off.
Feng Luo's expression changed instantly, and she ran frantically towards Xie Feng, shouting, "Big brother, this man has gone mad! Help!"
" Qing Yi, stop!"
Xie Feng spoke up in time to stop him.
Qing Yi stopped, frowned, and asked, "Young Master Xie, why won't you let me kill him?"
Xie Feng said, " Feng Luo is my younger brother."
Qing Yi blinked, then suddenly realized, "So Young Master Xie had already subdued him!"
"This is the Secret Pool, what are you doing here?"
Xie Feng turned his head and asked.
"I... I... Um, ugh, if you can come, why can't I! I... I have something to do..."
After stammering for a long time, Feng Luo, seemingly unable to bear the pangs of conscience, finally confessed.
"This is my treasure trove!"
After thinking for a moment, and maintaining a rigorous attitude, he added, "One of."
Xie Feng looked around. Besides stones and some weeds, there was nothing around the stone arch bridge to hide treasure. There was no treasure at all!
Feng Luo chuckled, "Boss, you don't understand. For people like us with a hoarding obsession, everything can be hidden away!"
As he spoke, he came to a clump of black weeds, parted the weeds, and revealed a bottomless pit!
"I dug this two months ago. I originally wanted to hide it deeper, but unfortunately, I couldn't dig any further after two feet; the ground down there was very hard. But, two feet deep is enough. See, I even fooled you, brother!"
As Feng Luo spoke, she reached her hand into the deep pit and, after a moment, pulled out an exquisite wooden box.
He opened the box, and instantly it shone brightly.
Under the watchful eyes of three pairs of people, Feng Luo pulled out a pile of dazzling gold and silver jewelry from his pocket and brazenly placed it inside.
Feng Luo carefully closed the wooden box, and seeing Xie Feng and Qing Yi staring at him from the left and right, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Um, with you two staring at me like that, I don't dare to let go... Ugh, I... I think I'll find somewhere else..."
Feng Luo hugged the wooden box to her chest, preparing to find another place.
Xie Feng asked, "Did you steal everything in this box?"
Feng Luo grinned and muttered, "What do you mean by stealing... I... I borrowed it, it's just that the owner hasn't agreed yet..."
Xie Feng: "..."
Qing Yi suddenly said, "Open the box again so I can take a look."
For some reason, he felt like he had seen a familiar big gold chain in the box earlier.
It looks a bit like... him?!
Feng Luo quickly hugged the box tightly, shaking her head and backing away. "No, I already showed it to you! I've never been to your treasure vault! If you lose a gold chain, don't blame me!"
Well, he's confessed without being asked.
Qing Yi shook his head helplessly, comforting himself by thinking that he would consider it his way of showing respect to him!
This is the first and the last time!
Previously, Xie Feng and Feng Luo first met at Peak of Heaven because Feng Luo wanted to steal Feng Yan's secret stash.
Later, because Xie Feng caused a ruckus at Peak of Heaven, Feng Yan discovered that all the treasures in the small vault had been looted. He was furious and believed that Xie Feng was responsible for it all.
It was precisely because Xie Feng took the blame that Feng Yan did not suspect Feng Luo.
so...
His "borrowing treasures" business is in full swing...
While Feng Luo and Qing Yi were entangled in their argument over the gold chain, Xie Feng arrived at the edge of the deep pit and looked down.
suddenly...
His brow furrowed slightly!
Inside this deep pit, he actually sensed a very faint aura!
It's from the bottom!
This aura wasn't there before!
It's happening now!
This suggests that... there may be some kind of mysterious living creature inside the deep pit...
Xie Feng flicked his wrist, and Little Sword appeared. He then threw the Little Sword into the deep pit.
There was a moment of silence, about half a minute.
The next second...
boom!
A tremendous jet of water shot out!
A colossal wave erupted from the deep pit, causing the entire space to tremble.
Immediately afterwards, the giant wave slowly receded, replaced by a raging fire!
A pillar of fire, like a giant dragon, rose from the ground and burned inside the stone arch bridge, startling Qing Yi and his companion awake.
Feng Luo jumped up. "What the heck?! What happened?!"
Qing Yi stared intently at the deep pit, then suddenly stood up and retreated!
The water and fire dissipated.
The space returned to calm.
Something golden jumped out from the bottom of the pit.
Little Sword also emerged at the same time.
A golden egg!
However, what's very strange is that this oval-shaped egg, covered with dark gold patterns, has a black tail.
Very fine.
Like the tail end of a stroke of ink painting.
The little thing stuck to Xie Feng as soon as it appeared.
Little Sword thought it wasn't a good egg, so he started chopping at it.
But this thing can't be cut by a sword or burned by fire, and its cry is as terrifying as a crying baby; it's really eerie.
It wasn't very big, and it was round and chubby. It easily jumped onto Xie Feng's shoulder and started rubbing against him with what looked like its face.
It's like she's being affectionate!
hiss!
Xie Feng suddenly gasped.
This little thing is secretly absorbing his Chaos Power!
His expression changed slightly, and he tried to shake the Little Golden Egg off.
Unfortunately, this thing clung tightly to its shoulder and was incredibly stubborn, making it impossible to shake off.
The amount of Chaos Power it absorbed was very small, probably due to its size; at least for now, it wouldn't cause Xie Feng any real harm.
